FABRIC SOFTENER
-
>>> Fabric Softener is a theatrical response to Toni Morrison's novel Song of Solomon and the text's focus on three generations of Black women: Pilate, her daughter Reba, and granddaughter Hagar.
This performance presents three new characters who are not recreations of these women but are instead archetypes: The Laundress, The Celebrant, and The Witness. The performance begins as The Celebrant and The Witness prepare The Laundress for an intervention: a baptism, a becoming, and a funeral for what used to be and can no longer exist.
Premiered at The Shed (July 25th - July 27th, 2024)
